About

Freeman PR is a leading music, arts and entertainment PR agency set up in early 2007 by Amanda Freeman and Sam Hinde.

Amanda and Sam have developed an eclectic roster taking in a range of artists, businesses, films, books and cultural events. They pride themselves on an instinct to make projects work, bringing with them a wealth of contacts, a determined work ethic, integrity and diligence.

Before setting up as one of the UK’s foremost independent PR agencies, Amanda and Sam amassed a pedigree of music industry experience, from making tea for Aphex Twin to completing two world tours with U2.

"Our clients can trust us to take on a project with care and experience. So when an envelope arrives from Freeman PR or an email drops into their inbox, " they say, "the recipient can be assured it's going to be worth their attention. We only take on projects we're enthusiastic about and that we know have merit."

In film they have helped promote the award winning documentary Sound It Out and Clint Mansell's scores for Black Swan, The Wrestler and Moon. In the live sector they have worked on events such as The Camden Crawl, War Child's Brit Awards parties, The Eden Sessions, Noise Of Art and The Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia. And they have provided corporate brand representation for Moshi Moshi Records, Tummy Touch Music Group, The Association of Independent Music, The Old Vinyl Factory and Classic Album Sundays.

Reflecting their own diverse yet complementary tastes Freeman PR work with artists and businesses who possess a definite creative vision, building campaigns upon key press targets and objectives. "Our job is to take our clients beyond a responsive media who 'get' what they're doing and broaden that media fan base. For us it's always about quality rather than quantity."’

Amanda on Sam: "He has an eye for the bigger picture and an ability to think out of the box. He's a natural when it comes to strategic thinking"

Sam on Amanda: "She understands PR better than anyone I have ever worked with. From the moment I met her it was obvious that she was 100% in love with her job."
